Sleep well, live better Dacron surveys carried out in recent years on consumer demands and expectations for bedding products are demonstrating the undeniable role played by a balanced temperature in the bedroom as well as in the bedding products in improving the quality of sleep. Based on these findings, Dacron presents Climarelle, a range of thermoregulated bedding products for a balanced sleeping temperature. Climarelle is a complete range of pillows, duvets and mattress pads validated by an independent research group on Physiological Anthropology (in Kiel, Germany) and in home testing by 80 European consumers. Climarelle is Dacron tested answer to improve the and intensity of your sleep for optimal regeneration.

sleeping temperature is a critical dimension......and a must for A good NIGHT'S sleep Did you know that your body temperature varies during night? THE WRONG TEMPERATURE (too hot/too cold) BRINGS Unable sensations Inconstant sleep Insufficient rest A BALANCED TEMPERATURE ALLOWS YOU TO Fall asleep easily Sleep deeper Feel better in the morning In general, a night's sleep is composed of two main consecutive sleep states: REM (rapid eye movement) and non REM sleep. rem non rem During the first cycles of the night, which are more physical recovery-oriented, the general body temperature is lower, whereas during the P R O P E R S L E E P I N G T E M P E R A T U R E I S A M U S T F O R A G O O D N I G H T ' S S L E E P Body temperature later cycles, general body temperature rises, deep sleep becomes more superficial, REM sleep duration increase, and the sleeper is more sensitive to his surroundings. How to reach your optimal zone?

AN INNOVATIVE TEMPERATURE REGULATING CONCEPT for duvets, PILLOWS AND MATTRESS PAD If temperature is higher than ideal The Phase Change Material (mpcm) microcapsules integrated within the Climarelle soft stretch liner become fluid with a cooling effect, bringing the temperature back towards the optimum. When body temperature falls again The microcapsules again change phase from liquid to solid, releasing heat energy to the body and helping it to keep warm despite lower temperatures.
